and head for the postcode lookup stuff.

On a general note, it's important to distinguish between Parcel Farce 
and Royal Mail services.  Parcel Farce is what used to be parcel post 
but it's now a separate organisation. although you still send stuff 
through the Post Office counters and there is an element of co-marketing.

 From my days of running the Emporium I learnt one important rule - 
never, ever, ever, send anything with Parcel Farce, or allow anyone else 
to send anything to you by that means.  1st class post is often an 
acceptable (and sometimes even a cheaper) option.  If you want next day 
then use Special Delivery, unless it's over 2 kg in case you need DHL, 
FedEx or someone like Interlink.

The ludicrous experiences which I've had with Parcel Farce would make 
for a very long post.  Just say no!

(UPS is a slightly different story.  Domestic UPS within the UK is 
OK-ish, but their import people are totally dishonest.)
